I do all of my poi with glowsticks right now, and I was planning to make a video so I can use it for a competition (not the one on this site since it will include other things). My question is what is the best time/light to video tape someone doing poi/glowsticking. Do I want to be seen or totally in the dark, a little light on the subject please?

whats up man, i did a vid for this site with glowsticks, i am sending it in soon. anyways, i was in my driveway, it was pretty dark outside bu there was a halfway decent flood light above me that kind of showed my arms just enough to see what i was doing at times, but it was still dark enough that the glowsticks looked bright and awesome. so i guess do it at night outside, with a little bit of light on the subject to see what you are doing...

goes with glowsticks or fire, dark enough for them to be bright, but light enough for the person to be seen.

yepdefinitely try a bunch of different settings. We did some filming in our usual summer hangout, and unfortunately, it was waay too dark.Even our UV stuff was a bit crapola...We have another place, which is tried and true, which is quite well lit, but the flames and stuff look great still.Josh
